Saline, MI (November 25, 2009) – DesignHub, Inc. (www.design-hub.com), the Saline-based creative services and marketing firm, will this week celebrate the 10th anniversary of its founding.

On Friday, November 26, 1999, DesignHub’s co-founders Karen Ragland, business manager and account executive, and Ted Chesky, creative director and chief graphic designer, moved into the company’s original offices at 135 E.
